WINE OF CARDUI.
NOT A PATENT MEDICINE.


teenth Century--A Revolution
In the Tr atment of Female Dis
eases-Endorsed by Eminent Di-
vines and Philan' ropists.
There seems to be a mistaken
idea prevalent regarding the aston
ishing new remedy = McElree's
Wine of Cardui-which has accom-
plished such wonderful results in
the cure of troublesome and fatal
class of diseases.
1t should be understood that this
remedy is NOT PATENT MEDICINE.
The manufacturers have applied
for no patent on their formula, and
have no idea of doing so. The
good man-Rev. R. L. McElree-
who was instrumental in acquaint-
ing the public with its wonderful
healing virtues, is a humble minis
ter in the Cumberland Presbyte-
rian Church. He tried through
the fundamentally of his brethren
and fellow clergymen in his church
to introduce it to the suffering wo-
men of the world, for several years.
He received much encouragement
and valuable assistance from them,
but with their best endeavors its
great value was made know to COM
paratively few of those who needed
it. In order to widen the sphere
of its usefulness he arranged with
the Chattanooga Medicine Com
pany, of Chattanooga, Tenn, to
undertake its manufacture, know
ing that with the unlimited means
and facilities possessed by this
great medicine house, they could put
it within the reach of every woman
in the world.
He required them to advertise it,
and by every means in their power
to place before the public, and to
sell it at price as low as the cost
of its manufacture would permit.
To the best of their ability they
have and are doing this. They
have never attemp ed, nor do they
desire to make it a patent medicine.
They regard it one of the most
valuable discoveries in medical sci
ence of the nineteenth century.
IT BELONGS TO THE PUBLIC, and it
is their wish to introduce it to
every mother, wife and household
in America.
They hope for and expect from
Christian men and women every
where, and especially from those
who regain their health by its use,
assistance in their laudable work.
Good men, clergymen, physicians
and philanthropists constantly en-
courage them by kind letters and
advice, good women bid them 'God-
speed"
The following letter was given to
Dr. McElree soon after he discov-
cred the great remedy, by that good
man,
REV. T. c. BLAKE, n. D.,
of Nashville, Tenn, then the gen.
eral financial agent of the Cumbcr-
land Presbyterian Publish ing
House, and since editor and pro-
prietor of the youths Treasury"
q monthly magazine for boys and
girls, published at Nashville, Tenn:

Mr.. H. E. Moseley, of Mosley's
E Bluff, La, merchant of that place,
/. says:
81 never sold medicine that gave
such satisfaction. Every purchaser
L that ask about 1t gives me the same
reply-'It acts like charm 1t Is GER
tainly the greatest remedy yet discov-
cred for what 1t Is recommended"
Rev. ]. A. McMahan, of Green
castle, Ind, writes;
The box of Wine of Cardui arrived
safely to-day. Previous orders have
e given satisfaction In every case. We
It thank the Lord and you that it was
: discovered and brought to our notice.
Our daughters, just at the dawn of
!, womanhood, were suffering greatly,
frequently unable to attend school, and
we were advised 10y friends to stop one
! Of them, as her health was in dam
: ger. We then sent to you for the
, Wine of Cardui. It cured them at
. once, and they continued In school, en-
: joying good health. The one that suf-
\ fered most has not lost day from
school in eight months, and Is still in
school. Others who have used ii
